Those of you who know something about raising fish know that fish need plants to help them feel in their environment. Most plants found in a fishbowl or aquariums are just green and boring. Not the case with the new design by Joe Doucet. In Doucet’s new design that creates a combination of fish bowl and plant holder. The two are joined together as one but separated at the same time.

I will give you a prediction here and now. The upswing in high-tech technology integrated into every facet of our lives will soon (say 5+ years from now) experience a backlash started by none other than us; designers. The Circle Phone is an example of such a backlash.

The singular most reoccurring theme in industrial design today seems to be modularity. It’s appropriate since people today are always on the move so designers have to create objects and spaces with that in mind. The Kitchen A La Carte is no different. Born from the idea of small pack kitchens assembled anywhere so long as there’s plumbing and electricity. When all is said and done, they neatly pack up into 3 modular pieces ready for transport.

I love hammocks, really I do. But I do not like the fact that my leg or foot falls through the ropes and the fear of sitting down and falling out causes me. If you have had the experience of lying in a hammock and just relaxing from the daily stressors in life, you know how enjoyable of an experience it can be. Pinar Yar & Tugrul Govsa have designed a newer version of the hammock.

Have you ever found while looking through your closet a bunch of hangers that have no clothes on them? Normally, we throw them away and don’t think twice about it. 101 Design Studio had a better option for those extra hangers. They have created “48”. “48 is lighting design made from 48 metal hangers. The design comes in both a standing and hanging version.

Active people need unrestricted movement and can’t always carry a backpack. The Octopus BoardBag give them this freedom by employing a small suction cupped bag activated by a lever. The resulting suction is so strong, even hardcore shredders will have a hard time knocking it off.

Although the designer denotes the Booksplay as a book hanger, one can see the design is better suited for magazines. There’s a slight Asian inspired design to the lines but the make screams modern. Perhaps the real treat here are the racks and sliding drawer – a way to display and keep older zines neatly tucked away.

People are changing. We want designs that affect us much more than through our eyes, but ones that touch all senses. A new era is on the horizon in design. Products that can and will move our complete being are in the making. One such design is the new “micro TV” by Tokyo Fiber. The little micro TV concept was developed in a similar fashion as the 1960′s SONY version of their mini TV’s.

About a month ago I got an email from Designer Stefano Casanova about his new Lofu shoe. At first I was put off by their Crocs-like material but these are some of the most comfortable slip-ons I’ve ever had.

FIVE is a set of four stools that can be arranged together in different ways to create optical illusions. Their odd angle makes it look as if they’ll topple over but don’t worry, sitting on this won’t send your bum a-sliding. They’re also painted on 2 sides to create color blocks when arranged together to form a table, adding a different sense of dimension.
Designer: Anna Bullus
The ‘Core’ tap uses both aesthetics and function to make the design an overall success. The main design features include the industrial style, the hollow spout, and the interchangeable cores of the handles. The solid shape makes a very bold statement in the bathroom, while its solid structure the small fillets make it look comfortable without attracting too much attention.
